An old-time and huge specimen of hematite, known in this form variously as "fans" or "tree trunks." The complete-all-around and pristine specimen is doubly terminated and has beautiful ribbing and a lustrous, gray/mahogany-brown patina. This piece hails from a classic and famous Wisconsin iron mine - the Montreal Mine in Iron County. Ex. George Robbe Collection, which was donated to the Seaman Museum following his death in 1963.
